Ork Looted Rhino
The top hatch has had some rivets added, as well as handles and some additional armour plates. I still need to add rivets to the hatches themselves and I will be using a smaller diameter of plastic rod to do those. A tip I picked up from George Dellapina was to put a bit of superglue somewhere and then using the point of the modelling knife pick up the individual rivet, dip it into the superglue and then stick down where you want to. Problems are that occasionally you lose one... The superglue will often harden, but this is only a crust and can be cracked allowing access to unhardened superglue. The handles are from the Ork Trukk as is the metal fuel can (yes I know great location for a tank of fuel....).
I added some metal glyphs from the Ork Wrecker Trukk and (I think an Ork Warbike Model). Also from the bike was a wrapped shotgun. I have added the doors on the right side. I added some tracks to add additional armour as well.
Chains from the Chaos Vehicle sprue were also added.
Holes were drilled in the exhaust vents.
I also managed to find my Snotling models which will become grot riggers.
I do hope that Forgeworld release their version in Epic scale one day...
On the right side I wanted a similar yet different effect. I added some plastic strips to the rear engine vent, and added cut rod for rivets. I added my own doors and added scratch-built hinges.
I then added a multitude of rivets.
You can see here how it looks on the side of the Rhino. I also added a few metal glyphs (from the Gorkamorka Wrecker Trukk) and the shotgun from the Gorkamorka Ork Biker. You can also see the extra rivets I added to the top hatch.
